Depends if you like dark or white meat.
The colored broilers have more dark than white meat.
The various CX are more white than dark meat.
All above are hybrids and don't breed true. ... and the CX usually don't survive long enough. I kept a CX pullet and bred her to a random mix heritage roo. Most of my flock are several generations out of her offspring.
Standard Cornish are a slowwww growing large breasted option. But it's hard to find good ones
Freedom ranger Hatchery have some New Hampshire bred for meat.
Thank you! We don’t really care about dark vs light meat. Up until this point, we either eat whatever we get from the store, or eat game birds that we hunt. Store meat is mostly white, nothing special, game birds are mostly dark meat.
